Mill House

This is a small house, likely dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble, probably sandstone, which has been overpainted with textured white paint, and has blue slate roofs with red brick chimney stacks. The main house has a single-depth, three-bay plan, with a staircase wing situated in the centre of the rear. A bakehouse has been added to the south-west angle, extending outwards.

The front of the house, facing north-east, has a symmetrical facade of three windows over two storeys. A small gabled porch, centrally positioned on the ground floor, features a keyed round-headed outer arch and a small window to the right of a panelled door with glazed top panels. All the windows are twelve-pane sash windows with keystones. The roof incorporates two modern skylights and gable chimneys. A tall, single-storey wing with a 20th-century garage door is attached to the right-hand gable. The left gable wall has one window on each floor towards the rear corner, the upper one being very narrow, with altered glazing. A small, flat-roofed dormer breaks the rear roof slope.

A deep lean-to extends from the rear angle, its roof level descending from the rear staircase wing’s eaves. This lean-to contains one large and one small rectangular window with small panes. The small window has a square wooden surround containing segmental-headed cast-iron glazing with 16 panes, with four central panes opening as a casement. A tall brick chimney rises through the left side of the lean-to roof, from which a low, single-storey, two-window extension continues to the rear, slightly canted. This rear extension has two square windows with cast-iron glazing and a brick chimney on its gable.

An entrance passage leads to the rear staircase wing. One room on the right of the passage features two stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a chimney breast containing a hearth beam approximately 1.5 metres above floor level and 2.5 metres long. The room on the other side has one beam and a fireplace approximately 1 metre square, with stone jambs. The staircase wing contains a doglegged staircase rising to attic level, featuring a closed string, shallow risers and a lightly-moulded handrail, but lacking balusters. On the first floor, there are four lateral beams with small chamfers. The roof structure comprises principal-rafter trusses forming two main structural bays, with raked principals indicating a formerly hipped roof at both ends.
